Lunch sacks

We have been making a big effort to get rid of some plastic in our house. It appears to be never ending...Lunch boxes, plastic toys, plastic bags, plastic toothbrushes. I was reading a good book about plastic and a lady wrote down everything in her house that had plastic in it. Frightening. So, I made a tupperware mountain and threw it all out. Well, I left it by the outside bin and I threw out 80 percent of it.
Anyway, I have made the girls some cotton lunch sacks and snack bags in the Japanese triangle bag style.They have been so cool about not having a plastic lunch box and really seem to like them. I really get a kick out of filling them up so will post a few photos. It makes me look forward to packing their lunch. Next step is to get them some fabric they like. I saw some really lovely linen bowl covers in the 101 cookbooks shop. May try to make some on the weekend.

About Me

I live in the country with my husband and four children. I like to live simply and love learning about beautiful ways to enrich our lives. This blog is a place to celebrate the art of Furoshiki, the ancient art of Japanese wrapping with fabric. The words Eco Oru mean environment and folding. Teamed together these words represent the coming together of fabric in a sustainable way. A way that protects that which we love on many levels.Thanks for stopping by.
